Evident Wealth

We explore trends in financial markets and business strategies across developing world. Our perspective is based on decades of work outside the major money centers. What was once regarded as distant and exotic is now viewed as common. As the West benefits from capital sourced in these nations, distinctions blur between major and emerging markets.

Those investors based in London, New York, and Tokyo may have a pejorative view of emerging markets. We dispel that notion. We learned during the credit crisis, for instance, that there is a benefit to running the sort of conservative financial systems that we see in many evolving nations. Market specialists working in Johannesburg, Dubai, or Taipei may affirm their own local investment opportunities as offering prudent, rather than high risk.

Wealth is no longer the exclusive preserve of the largest economies; wealth is evident worldwide, often in unexpected places. Yet active investors in emerging markets understand the need for diversification and research. Allocators who neglect these disciplines hazard their portfolio and direct-investment commitments.

Regional Blog

We survey the commercial setting across Florida and the Caribbean. There is vibrant opportunity for those who embrace risk.

To farm or explore? Our blog is called Beyond Caparra in homage to the Spaniard Ponce de Leon. By most accounts, he was a better businessman than explorer. He died in 1521, enriched by cross-border trade.

Meet Our Founder

Cranganore was built to provide entrepreneurs and allocators with a better choice for handcrafted requirements than offered by the largest Wall Street firms. The company traces its roots to Manhattan, but it migrated to Miami in 2015.

Go to LinkedIn. Our managing director is Douglas Johnson, a career-long industry veteran. Between meetings in London and Tokyo, he can be found in the cafes of Istanbul or Kolkata.

Explore his blog. In an interview, Douglas was asked about changes in the financial-services industry since the credit crisis: "Investment projects now demand the strength of an ironsmith because of the challenges faced by the global economy."

Headquarters Location

"Wall Street South" is an apt metaphor for our neighborhood. Let us know if you plan to visitthe greater Miami area.
